XR650L...D606s...oversized tank...jet kit...air box mod...Corbin seat...aftermarket pipe...tail rack...heated grips...TAG bars...this is my dirt road exploration bike...comfortable enough to ride from sunrise to sunset...enough space to hold some rain gear and lunch...and cheap enough that I don't mind taking some risks with it. Simply a great bike until you come out of the woods 200 miles from home and you want to take the tarmac back...then the wind will toss you all over the road...tires make a ton of noise...no wind protection...obnoxious exhaust note...minimal lighting...and truly sketchy at speeds above 75. I do enjoy the wheelies though

My 17 year old giving his grandmother, who has dementia, a ‘«ˇride‘«÷ on the back of one of our Twinstars at her 90th birthday party. When my sons were learning to ride, I found two old Twinstars (an ‘«÷80 and an ‘«÷81) for them to learn to wrench on. . . and we restored them completely. Great experience and they both do their own maintenance now.
My mom isn't ‘«ˇin the present‘«÷ very often these days, but she seems to have fond memories of my dad's Indian from the 1950‘«÷s. When she saw the Twinstar at her party there was no stopping her ‘«Ų‘«£I WANT A RIDE! I WANT A RIDE".
They went only about 10 feet with people on both sides holding her on, but she was happy (the Twinstar, not so much. . . rear fender is on the tire here).
Wil rides a Ninja now, no shorts or bare feet.
